Description

  The present invention relates to a treatment liquid for forming an oxidation resistant film on a cermet base material composed of a titanium-based sintered body.

  A titanium carbonitride-based sintered body (titanium carbonitride-based cermet) having titanium carbonitride (TiCN) as the main component of the hard phase and iron group metal as the main component of the binder phase has high hardness and strength, It possesses excellent characteristics such as being difficult to react with the alloy, good slipperiness with various metals, and low coefficient of friction, and metal such as metal pipe expansion dies, contraction dies, cutting tips, etc. It is suitably used as a processed product.

  However, when TiCN-based cermets are exposed to an atmosphere in which oxygen is present at high temperatures, the constituent element titanium is oxidized and titanium oxide is generated on the cermet surface. Since this titanium oxide is brittle, when the metal is processed with a cermet tool on which the titanium oxide film is formed, the titanium oxide film falls off, the surface becomes rough, and the processing performance deteriorates. Furthermore, since the titanium oxide layer wears quickly, durability is also lowered.

  Therefore, conventionally, in order to improve the oxidation resistance of the titanium-based cermet, a method of adding another element to the component constituting the cermet has been proposed.

  For example, the cermet shown in Patent Document 1 is composed of a composite compound of chromium (Cr) and titanium (Ti) as a main component by containing chromium in a titanium-based sintered material, and improves oxidation resistance. I am doing so.

  On the other hand, many surface-coated cermet members in which a hard film is formed on a titanium-based sintered body have been proposed, although not intended to improve oxidation resistance.

  For example, the surface-covered cermet member disclosed in Patent Document 2 is such that a hard film containing titanium is formed on the surface of a cermet as a base material by CVD (chemical vapor deposition), PVD (physical vapor deposition), or the like.

  Furthermore, the surface-coated cermet member shown in Patent Document 3 has a hard film formed on the surface of the cermet base material, and in order to improve the adhesion of the hard film at the interface between the cermet base material surface and the hard film, An element containing layer is formed.

  However, as shown in Patent Document 1, a cermet (sintered body) formed by adding another component to a component of a titanium-based sintered material has a component different from that of the titanium-based sintered body and is altered. Therefore, there is a problem that the excellent performance of the titanium-based sintered body is impaired.

  The surface-coated cermet member shown in Patent Document 2 simply forms a hard film by diffusion, but the diffusion amount differs between the binder phase (Co) of the cermet base material and the hard phase (TiC), for example, Since diffusion hardly progresses on the hard phase, the adhesion of the hard film is lowered, and there arises a problem that it is difficult to ensure sufficient oxidation resistance by peeling.

  The surface-covered cermet member shown in Patent Document 3 has a problem that the structure is complicated and difficult to manufacture because a diffusion element-containing layer is further formed at the interface between the hard film and the cermet base material. Will occur.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and is a surface coating capable of easily forming an oxidation resistant film capable of improving oxidation resistance while maintaining excellent performance of a titanium-based sintered body.

It is a block diagram which shows an example of the manufacturing process of a surface covering cermet member. It is a block diagram which shows the other example of the manufacturing process of a surface covering cermet member. It is sectional drawing which shows roughly the extrusion die part periphery of the extruder with which embodiment of this invention was applied. It is a graph which shows the thermogravimetric change in the sample of this invention, and a comparative sample.

  FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a titanium-based surface-covered cermet member (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the surface-coated cermet member (1) of this embodiment includes a cermet base material (11) and an oxidation resistant film (12) provided on the cermet base material (11).

  In this embodiment, the cermet base material (11) is comprised by the sintered compact of the titanium carbonitride (TiCN). This TiCN-based sintered body (TiCN-based cermet) is composed of a hard phase mainly composed of titanium carbonitride (a component having a hard phase content of 50% by weight or more), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), etc. And a binder phase containing as a main component (a component whose content in the binder phase is 50% by weight or more).

  In the present invention, the main component of the hard phase in the cermet base material (11) is not limited to titanium carbonitride, and if it is at least one titanium compound of titanium carbide, titanium nitride, and titanium carbonitride, It can be employed as the main component of the hard phase. For example, a multi-component titanium compound such as TiCN-WC-TaC, TiC-WC-TaC can also be employed as the main component of the hard phase of the cermet base material (11). it can.

  The cermet base material (11) is not particularly limited to those composed only of cermet. For example, a titanium-based cermet layer is provided on the surface of a material other than cermet such as die steel and ceramics. It may be a thing. Although the method of providing a cermet layer on the surface of materials other than cermets, such as die steel and ceramics, is not specifically limited, For example, a thermal spraying method and PVD method are suitable.

  The oxidation resistant film (12) is composed of a composite oxide containing titanium. The composite oxide containing titanium preferably has a crystal structure in which oxygen ions are closely packed. When the composite oxide has a crystal structure in which oxygen ions are closely packed, the oxide oxide film (passive film) has a stable structure in which oxygen ions are difficult to move and has excellent oxidation resistance. ) Can be formed.

Preferred examples of the composite oxide include perovskite (CaTiO ₃ ) type composite oxides, ilmenite (FeTiO ₃ ) type composite oxides, and spinel (MgAl ₂ O ₄ ) type composite oxides.

  Among them, the perovskite type complex oxide and the ilmenite type complex oxide have very high symmetry and stability in the crystal structure, can more reliably prevent the movement of oxygen ions, and are further excellent in oxidation resistance. An oxidation resistant film can be formed.

Examples of the perovskite complex oxide include oxides having a chemical composition such as CaTiO ₃ , SrTiO ₃ , and BaTiO ₃ .

This perovskite type complex oxide has a structure in which oxygen ions are close-packed in a face-centered cubic type, and cations having a large ion radius such as Ca ²⁺ , Sr ²⁺ , Ba ^2+, etc. It has a structure in which Ti ⁴⁺ ions having a small ion radius enter the gap between oxygen ions and cations, which are replaced with oxygen ions. In other words, it has a structure in which small Ti ⁴⁺ ions enter a gap between large divalent cations and oxygen ions packed in a close-packed state. This crystal structure is very stable, and as described above, oxygen ions are difficult to move.

The oxidation-resistant film (12) made of this perovskite complex oxide reacts an alkaline earth metal such as Ca, Sr or Ba with a titanium oxide such as titanium oxide (TiO ₂ ) produced on the surface of the cermet substrate. It is formed by making it.

The ilmenite-type complex _oxide, can be cited _{FeTiO 3, NiTiO 3, CoTiO 3} , MnTiO 3, MgTiO 3, oxide having a chemical composition such as a ZnTiO _3.

This ilmenite-type composite oxide has a crystal structure similar to corundum, and has a structure in which cations are inserted into the gaps between oxygen ions (6-coordinates) in a structure in which oxygen ions are packed in a hexagonal close-packed manner. ing. In other words, Fe ²⁺ , Ni ²⁺ , Co ²⁺ , Mn ²⁺ , Mg ²⁺ , Zn ²⁺ ions, etc. with small ionic radii, and Ti ^{4 in} the gaps between the oxygen ions packed in the close-packed state. ^It has a structure with ⁺ ions. This crystal structure is also very stable and has a structure in which oxygen ions are difficult to move as described above.

  The oxidation resistant film (12) made of this ilmenite type complex oxide is composed of a transition metal of iron group divalent ions such as Fe, Ni, Co, Mn, Mg, Zn, and titanium oxide produced on the surface of the cermet substrate. It is formed by reacting.

Examples of the spinel complex oxide include oxides having chemical compositions such as MgTi ₂ O ₄ , Mg ₂ TiO ₄ , CoTi ₂ O ₄ , and Co ₂ TiO ₄ .

This spinel type complex oxide has a structure in which oxygen ions are close-packed in a face-centered cubic type. Spinel-type complex oxides containing Ti are crystals that are slightly inferior in stability due to differences in the charge of Ti ions. However, in practice, Ti ³⁺ ions are not observed, and even in the case of a composite oxide of the same element, Ti is a tetravalent Mg ₂ TiO ₄ spinel rather than a trivalent MgTi ₂ O _4. It is considered that it has a mold structure and has a structure in which Mg enters a so-called A site and Mg and Ti ⁴⁺ enter a B site.

  On the other hand, in the present invention, anatase type, rutile type, brookite type titanium oxide formed on the cermet base material (11) is not adopted as the oxidation resistant film (12). That is, these titanium oxides are not closely packed with oxygen ions and are not dense structures and are brittle. For example, in a high temperature aerobic environment of 450 ° C. or higher, the titanium oxide layer grows thick with time, In addition, innumerable cracks and holes are formed in the layer, and it is difficult to obtain sufficient oxidation resistance.

In addition, rutile-type titanium oxide has relatively high symmetry among titanium oxides, but has a crystal structure of TiO ₆ octahedron with a distorted center and lacks stability. Therefore, there are many gaps, oxygen ions easily move, and it is difficult to prevent oxidation.

  In this embodiment, the thickness (T) of the oxidation resistant film (12) formed on the cermet base material (11) is adjusted to 0.5 μm or less, preferably 0.4 μm or less, more preferably 0.1 μm or more. Good to do. That is, when this film thickness (T) is too thick, the surface from which the oxidation resistant film (12) is peeled off from the extrusion die constituted by the surface covering member (1) of the present embodiment may be roughened as described later. There is. Conversely, if the film thickness (T) is too thin, it may be difficult to obtain a sufficient antioxidant effect.

  Next, a process for forming the oxidation resistant film (12) on the cermet base material (11) will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, first, the cermet base material (11) is heated and oxidized, and then a treatment liquid containing a predetermined metal salt is applied to the surface of the cermet base material (11). (Processing liquid application process). Thereafter, after drying, the cermet base material (11) is heated to cause the metal salt in the treatment liquid to react with titanium oxide (titanium oxide) on the surface of the cermet base material, thereby providing an oxidation resistant film (12). As a result, a composite oxide is produced.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the metal salt that reacts with titanium oxide to form a perovskite-type composite oxide is an alkaline earth metal such as Ca, Sr, or Ba, and this alkaline earth metal compound is used as a treatment liquid. include. Examples of the alkaline earth metal compound include calcium acetate (such as calcium acetate monohydrate).

  The metal salt that forms the ilmenite type complex oxide is a transition metal of an iron group divalent ion such as Fe, Ni, Co, Mn, Mg, Zn, and the transition metal compound is contained in the treatment liquid. Examples of the transition metal compound include nickel acetate (for example, Ni (II) acetate tetrahydrate).

  Moreover, the metal salt which produces | generates a spinel type complex oxide is a salt of Mg and Co, and these metal compounds are contained in the treatment liquid. Examples of the metal compound include cobalt acetate (for example, Co (II) acetate tetrahydrate).

  On the other hand, the treatment liquid containing a metal salt uses an aqueous or non-aqueous solvent depending on various additives to be added.

  Furthermore, the treatment liquid for film formation has a problem of “wetability” with the surface of the cermet base material (11). When this “wetting property” is poor, when the treatment liquid is applied to the surface of the cermet base material, it is repelled on the surface of the cermet base material, and a desired oxidation-resistant film (12) is formed due to insufficient application amount. May be difficult. Therefore, when the “wetting property” is poor, it is necessary to solve the problem. As this solution, the surface of the cermet base material (11) is oxidized with hydrogen peroxide water or heated in the atmosphere to oxidize, thereby forming an extremely thin oxide layer on the surface of the base material. The method can be suitably employed. Further, “wetting” can be improved by adding an appropriate additive such as a surfactant to the treatment liquid.

  Further, when applying the treatment liquid to the cermet base material (11), there is a problem of “sagging” of the treatment liquid depending on the viscosity of the treatment liquid. When this “sag” occurs, it becomes difficult to form a desired oxidation-resistant film (12) due to a shortage of processing liquid. In particular, since a three-dimensional shape always has a rising portion, “sag” is likely to occur at the rising portion. Therefore, in the case of a processing solution using an aqueous solvent, a water-soluble paste (thickening agent) is added to the processing solution in order to eliminate the “sag” problem, and an appropriate viscosity is given. Thus, it is preferable to perform subsequent steps such as a drying process and a heating process in a state in which the occurrence of “sag” is reliably prevented.

  Depending on the type and concentration of the paste, the coating film after moisture drying may peel off due to shrinkage or the like. The problem of shrinkage peeling can be solved by adding a water-soluble polyhydric alcohol having a relatively high boiling point as a plasticizer. By this addition, the film can maintain flexibility even after moisture drying.

  Further, when the solubility of the metal salt in the treatment liquid is small, precipitation of the metal salt may occur. This solubility problem can be solved by adding an organic acid such as formic acid, acetic acid, or citric acid to the treatment solution.

  When it is desired to keep the production temperature of the complex oxide low (for example, when it is desired to make it 500 ° C. or lower), a sodium salt (for example, sodium hydrogen carbonate) for producing the complex oxide at a low temperature is used as a reaction aid. What is necessary is just to add.

  As described above, the aqueous processing liquid includes a paste, a surfactant, a plasticizer, an organic acid, a reaction aid and the like in addition to the metal salt and the solvent, and is composed of a slurry or a paste having viscosity. Yes.

  Moreover, as a method of apply | coating a process liquid to the surface of a cermet base material (11), the process liquid is apply | coated with a brush etc., sprayed by spray etc., the method of immersing a cermet base material (11) in a process liquid, etc. Can be adopted.

  In this embodiment, the treatment liquid is applied to the cermet base material (11) and dried, and then the oxidation-resistant film (12) is generated by heating. The heating condition during the film formation is sodium salt. In the case of not adding, it is good to set in air at 380 to 700 ° C. for 1 to 60 minutes, preferably at 570 to 620 ° C. for 2 to 20 minutes. That is, if the heating temperature is too high, the progress of oxidation may surpass the formation of the oxidation resistant film (12). If the heating temperature is too low or the heating time is too short, the oxidation resistant film (12 ) May be insufficient, or the film thickness may be too thin to make it difficult to obtain a sufficient oxidation resistance effect.

  In the above example, oxidation treatment by heating is performed before the treatment liquid is applied to the cermet base material (11). As described above, it is preferable to promote the oxidation of titanium by heating before application of the treatment liquid, but this heat oxidation treatment is not always necessary and can be omitted. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the treatment liquid is immediately applied to the cermet base material (11) without performing the heat oxidation treatment (treatment liquid application treatment), and then dried, and the oxidation resistant film formation treatment by heating. May be performed. Thus, even if oxidation treatment is not performed in advance, a titanium oxide film is generated on the surface of the cermet base material (11) to some extent during the formation of the oxidation resistant film, so that this titanium oxide reacts with the treatment liquid. Thus, a desired oxidation resistant film (12) is formed.

  As a matter of course, the oxidation treatment before applying the treatment liquid should be omitted in any case of forming any oxidation resistant film (12) of the perovskite complex compound, the ilmenite complex oxide and the spinel complex oxide. Can do.

  Thus, the oxidation resistant film (12) is formed on the surface of the titanium carbonitride-based cermet base material (11), and the TiCN-based surface-covered cermet member (1) of this embodiment is manufactured. In this surface-coated cermet member (1), the constituent components of the cermet base material (11) are the same as the constituent components of the TiCN-based sintered body, and the properties of the base material (11) do not change. The excellent performance possessed by the bonded body can be obtained with certainty.

  Furthermore, the surface-coated cermet member (1) of the present embodiment can be easily produced simply by applying a treatment liquid to the cermet base material (11) and heating it.

  In particular, in this embodiment, the titanium oxide film produced on the cermet base material (11) is reacted with the metal salt of the treatment liquid to form the oxidation resistant film (12). The oxidation-resistant film (12) can be reliably formed without being affected by the type of elements contained, and the oxidation-resistant film (12) can be more easily formed. As a result, the surface-coated cermet member ( 1) can be manufactured even more easily.

  Further, as is clear from the following examples, the surface-coated cermet member (1) of the present embodiment can improve oxidation resistance, particularly oxidation resistance under a high temperature environment.

  On the other hand, the surface covering cermet member (1) of this embodiment can be used suitably as an extrusion die. When employed in an extrusion die, it is practical to configure only a part (main part) of the extrusion die, rather than configuring the entire die of the extrusion die with the surface-covered cermet member (1).

  For example, the extrusion die (3) of the extruder shown in FIG. 4 includes a die body (31) such as a bearing portion and a die holder (32) that supports the die body (31). The die body (31) of (3) is constituted by the surface-covered cermet member (1), and the die holder (32) is constituted by a steel material or the like. When the extrusion die (3) having this configuration is manufactured, for example, a cermet base material (11) as a die body (31) is shrink-fitted into a hot die holder (32), and then the cermet base material. As described above in (11), the oxidation resistant film (12) is formed, and the die body (31) is constituted by the surface-covered cermet member (1).

  Here, if the temperature at which the oxidation-resistant film (12) is generated is a temperature exceeding the tempering temperature of the steel material, the hardness of the die holder (32) is lowered. It is necessary to carry out at a temperature below the tempering temperature of the steel material. In the case of SKD61 hot die steel, it is desirable to produce a complex oxide at 520 ° C. or lower. To meet this condition, for example, the temperature is adjusted to around 500 ° C. and the heating time is adjusted to about 30 minutes during film formation. Accordingly, an oxidation resistant film (12) having a film thickness of about 0.2 μm can be formed. The heating temperature at the time of film formation is lower than the general oxide film formation temperature, and the adhesion of the oxidation resistant film (12) to the cermet base material (11) is not so high. However, as will be described later, in this embodiment, the oxidation-resistant film (12) is required to be quickly removed (peeled) from the cermet base material (11) after the start of extrusion, and the oxidation-resistant film (12). Even if the adhesiveness is not so high, no problem occurs. Rather, it meets the requirement of quickly removing the oxidation resistant film (12) when necessary.

  Next, the case where extrusion molding is performed using the extrusion die (3) having the above configuration will be described. First, before actually performing extrusion molding, the extrusion die (3) is generally preheated in a preheating furnace. During this preheating, the extrusion die (3) is exposed to an oxygen atmosphere at a high temperature, but the die body (31) in the extrusion die (3) is constituted by the surface-coated cermet member (1). Therefore, oxidation of the cermet base material (11) can be prevented by the oxidation resistant film (12), and generation of titanium oxide can be prevented. Accordingly, embrittlement of the surface due to the generation of titanium oxide can be prevented, drop-off during extrusion molding performed later can be effectively prevented, and wear resistance and durability can be improved.

  When the preheating is completed, the extrusion die (3) is set in the container (2) of the extruder, and extrusion molding is started. At the time of this extrusion molding, the extruded material (metal material F) in the container (2) flows toward the extrusion die (3) in a pressurized state, and the extruded material (F) moves to the bearing hole ( 33). On the other hand, when extrusion molding is started in this way, the oxidation-resistant film (12) of the surface-coated cermet member (1) constituting the die body (31) is scraped off by the extruded material (F) that flows under pressure. The oxidation resistant film (12) is removed (peeled) quickly. As a result, the die body (31) is constituted by a bare cermet substrate (11) without a film, and the die body (31) is held by the TiCN-based sintered body (cermet substrate) itself. Excellent performance (excellent performance such as hardly reacting with aluminum and its alloys) will be exhibited regretfully. For this reason, for example, the dimensional stability, strength, and hardness of the die body (31) can be sufficiently secured, the extrusion process can be performed smoothly in a stable state with high quality, and the surface state and the dimensional accuracy have high quality. While being able to obtain an extruded product, it is possible to prevent early deterioration, breakage, and dropout, and to reliably improve deterioration resistance, wear resistance, durability, and the like. Moreover, weight reduction of a die | dye can also be implement | achieved by using a TiCN sintered compact as a die | dye.

  Here, in this embodiment, when the extruded material is extruded 10 m from the start of extrusion, the oxidation resistant film (12) in the die body (surface-coated cermet member 1) is peeled off by 90% or more compared to before the start of extrusion. It is preferable to configure so that. That is, if the amount of peeling of the oxidation resistant film after extrusion is too small, it may be difficult to sufficiently exhibit the excellent performance possessed by the TiCN-based sintered body.

  In addition, in the said embodiment, although the case where the surface covering cermet member relevant to this invention was applied as an example was demonstrated and demonstrated, it is not restricted only to it, The surface covering cermet member of this invention is other members. For example, drawing dies such as expansion dies and contraction dies, warm, hot, cold forging dies, die casting dies, bending dies, warm dies, hot In addition to plastic working dies such as rolling and cold rolling rolls and casting molds, the present invention can also be applied to cutting machine tools such as cutting tips and cutting tools.

  Next, specific examples of the present invention will be described, but the present invention is not particularly limited to these examples.

<Example 1>
Similar to the above embodiment, a cermet base material composed of a titanium carbonitride-based sintered body is prepared, and Ni (II) acetate tetrahydrate 9.3 is used as a treatment liquid for forming an oxidation resistant film. Parts by weight, 4.7 parts by weight of polyvinylpyrrolidone (paste), 1.9 parts by weight of alkyl glucoside (surfactant), 5.6 parts by weight of glycerin (polyhydric alcohol), 4.9 parts by weight of citric acid, hydrogen carbonate A mixture in which 6.5 parts by mass of sodium (sodium salt) and 67.1 parts by mass of water were mixed was prepared.

After the treatment liquid is applied to the surface of the cermet base material, it is dried, and in the atmosphere (in the air), the temperature is raised to a temperature of 500 ° C. in a hot air circulating high-temperature furnace, and further maintained at 500 ° C. for 30 minutes, On the cermet base material, an oxidation resistant film composed of an ilmenite type complex oxide (NiTiO ₃ layer) was formed to obtain a surface-coated cermet member. In this case, the oxidation resistant film formed on the surface showed a blue interference color.

  The surface-coated cermet member thus obtained was tested for thermogravimetric change under the following conditions based on TGA (thermogravimetric analysis, thermogravimetric measurement).

  At this time, Shimadzu DTG60H was used as a test apparatus. Furthermore, as a test sample of the surface-coated cermet member in Example 1, a sample having a size of 3 mm × 4 mm × 0.15 mm was used, and this sample was accommodated in an alumina cell, and the above test apparatus was used. The thermogravimetric change was measured by setting the temperature rising rate to 1 ° C./min in the atmosphere (in the air). The measurement results are shown in FIG.

<Comparative Example 1>
A test similar to the above was performed using a cermet base material made of the same titanium carbonitride-based sintered body as in Example 1 in which an oxidation resistant film was not formed as a sample of a comparative example. The test results are also shown in FIG.

<Evaluation of oxidation resistance>
As is clear from FIG. 5, in Example 1 having an oxidation resistant film, although the heating temperature is increased, the weight change (weight increase) is hardly recognized and the oxidation is almost advanced. I understand that there is no.

  On the other hand, it can be seen that the comparative example without the oxidation resistant film increases in weight as the heating temperature rises and the oxidation proceeds. In particular, in the comparative example, the weight rapidly increases within the temperature environment range of the extrusion die, and it can be seen that oxidation proceeds rapidly in this temperature range.

  As described above, in the case of Example 1, the cermet base material portion can be reliably prevented from being oxidized even when exposed to an oxygen atmosphere at a high temperature. Therefore, defects due to oxidation, for example, damage or dropout due to surface embrittlement. Etc. can be effectively prevented.

  Next, in order to evaluate the oxidation resistance in actual use of the surface-coated cermet members of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 obtained as described above, the die body of the extrusion die (3) shown in FIG. (31) was constituted by each of the above surface-coated cermet members (1), and an aluminum alloy round bar was extruded using this extrusion die (3).

  The extrusion die (3) was manufactured as follows. That is, after the cermet base material (11) as the die body (31) is shrink-fitted in the die holder (32) made of a hot steel material, the oxidation resistant film is formed on the cermet base material (11). Thus, the die body (31) was constituted by the surface-coated cermet member (1), and the extrusion die (3) was manufactured. The heating temperature at the time of forming the oxidation resistant film was set to 500 ° C. and the heating time was set to 30 minutes, whereby an oxidation resistant film (12) having a thickness of 0.2 μm was formed.

  Next, when performing extrusion molding using the extrusion die (3), the extrusion die (3) was preheated at 450 ° C. for 300 minutes in a preheating furnace. Thereafter, the extrusion die (3) was set in the container (2) of the extruder, and an aluminum alloy round bar was extruded at a billet temperature of 450 ° C. The wear amount of the surface-covered cermet member (1) as the die body (31) when the extrusion length reached 50000 m was evaluated. Table 1 shows the evaluation results of the wear amount.

  As can be seen from Table 1, in the case of extrusion molding with an extrusion die using the surface-coated cermet member of Example 1 of the present invention, the wear amount of the surface-coated cermet member is small and sufficient durability as a die is obtained. It was.

  On the other hand, when extrusion molding was performed with an extrusion die using the surface-coated cermet member of Comparative Example 1 in which an oxidation resistant film (surface coating) was not formed, an extrusion evaluation of 50000 m could not be performed. When the length reached 10000 m, the wear amount of the surface-covered cermet member reached 30 μm, and detachment due to oxidation was confirmed on the surface of the die after 10000 m extrusion. In Comparative Example 1, the wear was extremely fast compared to the system using the conventional WC-Co carbide material of Comparative Example 2.

  The treatment liquid of the present invention is used to form an oxidation resistant film on the cermet member. Further, the surface-coated cermet member produced by the production method of the present invention can be applied to metal processed products such as cutting tools and extrusion dies.
